Bobcat 773 Skid-Steer Loader Helps Carmelite Nuns Restore Convent

Published on March 8, 2022

The Discalced Carmelite Nuns in Prague have called their monastery home for more than two centuries. When they decided to move from central Prague to a new village east of the city, they were met with a few challenges. 

“I like the simple, intuitive operation of the Bobcat loader, and the fact that it can be used for many different tasks”

The Carmelite Nuns chose a former farm in the village of Drasty, which has a history dating back to 1305. When they moved in 2018, they found a plethora of dilapidated structures and landscaping. The nuns have since transformed the farm into a new convent complex that will serve the people of the community. They chose to take on the work themselves, rolling up their sleeves and turning to the help of a Bobcat® 773 skid-steer loader.
